Find all occurrences of a function in Eclipse

In Eclipse, how can I find all the function uses in a Java application? What is a shortcut for this?

I tried using Ctrl + H to search by method, but it returns me all the methods with the same name.

You can find the menu item in the context menu by right-clicking on a function. You can also press Ctrl + G when the cursor is above a function or member. Not every project and file type supports this feature. For example, EPIC Perl only supports function definition lookups.

These are hacks, but if you temporarily change the method signature, this will create compilation errors that are easy to find.
